2002 Chevrolet Camaro SS 35TH Anniversary SLP Edition

Description

Did you miss your opportunity at one of the best modern classic Camaros ever? Here's your second chance. This 2002 Chevrolet Camaro SS 35TH Anniversary SLP Edition is the ultimate car from its generation. After all, it's the final year for the 4th gen; this is the small-batch high-performance version; and it has an ultra low-mileage and fresh presentation. So it's time to get your hands on a 345 horsepower drop-top with the kind of documentation that keeps it a true collectible.

The odometer really tells the story on this one. It says that this car has had a commitment to preservation since day one. We would have put more miles on this car if we had just gone from our showroom to the Daytona 500, and then tucked it under a car cover and never touched it until the next year's race. The nearly impossible low mileage is why the factory Bright Red still has a showroom level of shine. While that can attract attention from across a show field, when people are drawn in closer, they get to see the exclusive graphics package that turns the iconic dual sport stripes into checked flags. It not only highlights sporty elements like the functional hood scoop and special SS rear spoiler, but it also just seems like a fitting tribute to a car that's both a 35th Anniversary Edition and the last year for these 4th gen speed machines. Plus, these have more great sporty details of distinction, like the larger 17-inch alloys, special SS badging, and SLP's center-exit dual exhaust.

The black roof looks great against the red and silver exterior, and it only gets better when you take it down. Because you not only still get the look of the black, but now there are tasteful gray inserts in the leather seats to give this car added distinction. What really makes this stand out is the special 35th Anniversary SS packaging that includes embroidered headrests and a dash plaque. There's also special floor mats, and they are preserved in the trunk in their original packaging. There's still even the original air bag tag! So with this level of compressive and thoughtful preservation, you can really understand how the whole interior will remind you of a brand new car. But more than just a time capsule, this is a range-topping Camaro loaded with all the best features. It includes a power driver's seat, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, dual airbags, cruise control, cup holder center console, tilt wheel, power steering, and a 500-watt Monsoon AM/FM/CD stereo. Plus, with power windows and a power convertible top, you never have to leave the driver's seat to go from enclosed luxury to a wind-in-your-hair experience. And with cold-blowing air conditioning, you get to enjoy it even on the hottest days of summer.

The SS was the top-dog Camaro that came from Chevrolet at the time. The LS1 under the hood was shared with the Corvette. In fact, while Chevrolet specifically de-tuned the motor to keep the Corvette the pinnacle of power, the masters at SLP were a little more liberating. Part of their packaging included upgrading the exhaust, and many believe the advertised 345 horsepower was slightly understated to make sure the Corvette did not cry foul. Plus, not all of these modern classics have the six-speed manual transmission and Hurst short-throw shifter that put the power firmly under your control. And speaking of control, SLP installed an Auburn high-torque performance differential. There's also four-wheel disc brakes w/ABS, sway bars front & rear, and SLP's suspension upgrade featuring Bilstein shocks. So we know you're going to find it hard to resist adding to this ultra-low odometer.

A true collectible like this needs all the right paperwork. That's why the sale includes the original window sticker (both Chevrolet and SLP), dealer invoice, bill of sale, owner's manual packet, service manuals, and maintenance records. You know how significant this car is, and you also know you may never find one this well preserved ever again. Call today!!!
